Install and configure Mongodb on ubuntu18.04
MongoDB is a document database, which means it stores data in JSON-like documents.It is a free and open-source document database and it belongs to a family of databases called NoSQL which are different from the traditional table-based SQL databases like Mysql.The data is stored in a "document" structure in JSON format.

Step 2: verify mongodb service
To check mongodb service use following command
root@ubuntu18:~# systemctl status mongodb
● mongodb.service - An object/document-oriented database
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mongodb.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Tue 2020-03-03 09:27:39 UTC; 1min 52s ago
Docs: man:mongod(1)
Main PID: 18819 (mongod)
Tasks: 23 (limit: 1670)
CGroup: /system.slice/mongodb.service
└─18819 /usr/bin/mongod --unixSocketPrefix=/run/mongodb --config /etc/mongodb.conf

root@ubuntu18:~# systemctl enable mongodbBydefault it uses port 27017 and we will connect to the MongoDB database server using the mongo tool to check connection status
mongo --eval 'db.runCommand({ connectionStatus: 1 })'root@ubuntu18:~# mongo --eval 'db.runCommand({ connectionStatus: 1 })'
MongoDB shell version v3.6.3
connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017
MongoDB server version: 3.6.3
{
"authInfo" : {
"authenticatedUsers" : [ ],
"authenticatedUserRoles" : [ ]
},
"ok" : 1
}
Step 3: Allow Remote access to db
By default mongodb server runs on port 27017 on localhost.To allow access in firewall from everywhere run the following command.

root@ubuntu18:~# ufw allow 27017But this causes security issue. Enabling internet access to MongoDB server gives anyone unrestricted access to the database server and its data.MongoDB should be accessed only from certain trusted locations, such as another server hosting an application.
root@ubuntu18:~# ufw allow from other_server_IP/32 to any port 27017
root@ubuntu18:~# ufw statusBut we still need to ensure that the MongoDB server does not only listen locally. Therefore, we need to add our trusted machine ip to the conf file.
Edit below mongodb conf file
root@ubuntu18:~# vi /etc/mongodb.confAdd trusted server ip like below
bind_ip = 127.0.0.1,192.168.0.15Replace your server ip as above,save the file and exit.
Now restart mongodb service with following command.
root@ubuntu18:~# systemctl restart mongodb
root@ubuntu18:~# systemctl status mongodb
Step 4: configure mongodb user and password
First we will open mongo shell with following command
root@ubuntu18:~# mongoonce you are in the mongodb shell, switch to the database named admin.
use adminnow create root user with below command
db.createUser({user:"root", pwd:"admin@123", roles:[{role:"root", db:"admin"}]})sample output:
> use admin
switched to db admin
> db.createUser({user:"root", pwd:"admin@123", roles:[{role:"root", db:"admin"}]})
Successfully added user: {
"user" : "root",
"roles" : [
{
"role" : "root",
"db" : "admin"
}
]
}

Now exit from the mongodb shell.
mongodb instance was started without the --auth command line option.you need to enable authentication of users by modifying /lib/systemd/system/mongodb.service like below
root@ubuntu18:~# nano /lib/systemd/system/mongodb.serviceAdd --auth to ExecStart line like below
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mongod --auth --unixSocketPrefix=${SOCKETPATH} --config ${CONF} $DAEMON_OPTSsave and exit service. Now restart mongodb with following commands.
root@ubuntu18:~# systemctl daemon-reload
root@ubuntu18:~# systemctl restart mongodb
root@ubuntu18:~# systemctl status mongodbNow we will connect to the MongoDB shell with created user
root@ubuntu18:~# mongo -u root -p admin@123 --authenticationDatabase adminyou can check available databases with the following command.
> show dbs
admin 0.000GB
config 0.000GB
local 0.000GB
That's all.Mongodb is a well-known NoSQL database that offers high performance, high availability and automatic scaling. you can find more information on Mongodb official documentation.
